JEGS races away with NHRA extension

Auto racing parts and equipment supplier JEGS Automotive has extended its title sponsorship of the National Hot Rod Association’s Allstars event.

JEGS has partnered with the NHRA since 2002 and its association with the race-within-a-race bonus programme for leading NHRA Drag Racing Series competitors will now continue until 2016.

Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the JEGS Allstars event, contested between the top NHRA Drag Racing Series points scorers from the association’s seven geographic divisions. It takes place at Route 66 Raceway near Chicago as part of the NHRA Nationals.
